Genes affected

SALL4 (HGNC:15924): (spalt like transcription factor 4) This gene encodes a zinc finger transcription factor thought to play a role in the development of abducens motor neurons. Defects in this gene are a cause of Duane-radial ray syndrome (DRRS). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The glutamine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with SALL4-related disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs773046204, ExAC 0.02%). This sequence change replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 68 of the SALL4 protein (p.Arg68Gln). The arginine residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and glutamine. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.203G>A (p.R68Q) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the SALL4 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 203, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 68 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
